摘要:
An apparatus (100, 1001) comprises an image capturing device (110), a light emitting device (112) for illuminating an object to be captured by the image capturing device (110), a visual guide (114) to guide a user to aim the apparatus (100, 1001) at a target authentication device (140), and a processor (102). The visual guide (114) is devised such that when the apparatus (100, 1001) is aimed at the target authentication device (140) following guidance of the visual guide (114), the brightness levels on an image of the target authentication device (140) captured by the image capturing device (110) while under illumination of the light emitting device (112) are within a predetermined range of brightness levels to facilitate verification of authenticity with reference to the captured image of the target authentication device (140).
摘要:
Various embodiments of the invention may be used to verify that a person being authorized by biometric techniques to use a device is a living person and not some form of recording intended to spoof the system. Some embodiments may try to cause a change in a measured biometric feature, and compare images taken before and after the change to verify the change occurred. In some embodiments, multiple stages of verification may be used, either to increase the difficulty of spoofing the security system, or to provide different levels of security for different levels of access to the device's functionality.

In various embodiments, the size, shape, and arrangement of keys on a virtual keyboard may be determined based on touchscreen contacts made by the user. Further, the actual contact patch made by the user may be analyzed to interpret which point of contact was intended, and other factors such as spelling and context may also be considered. These factors may be determined based on a calibration session and/or on continuing inputs during operation of the keyboard, and applied to future operational interpretations of the touchscreen contacts.
摘要:
Es wird ein optoelektronischer Sensor (10) mit einem Lichtempfänger (16) zur Umwandlung von Empfangslicht aus einem Erfassungsbereich (12) in ein elektrisches Signal, mit einer Auswertungseinheit (18) zur Gewinnung von Informationen über Objekte in dem Erfassungsbereich (12) aus dem elektrischen Signal und mit einer Zieleinrichtung (22) angegeben, die mindestens eine Lichtquelle (24) und ein Mustererzeugungselement (28) umfasst, um den Erfassungsbereich (12) durch ein Lichtmuster (36) sichtbar zu machen. Dabei umfasst das Mustererzeugungselement (28) mehrere Zylinderlinsen (30, 32, 34), so dass das erzeugte Lichtmuster (36) mehrere Linien (38) aufweist, aus denen die Lage des Erfassungsbereichs (12) ableitbar ist.

摘要:
Through status awareness, a handheld communications device may determine the location, activity, and/or physical or emotional state of the user. This information may in turn be used for various purposes, such as 1) determining how to alert the user of an incoming communication, 2) determining what format to use for communicating with the user, and 3) determining how to present the user's status to another person's communication device.
摘要:
An indicia reading terminal is disclosed that eliminates unwanted flickering effects in an illuminated screen reading mode, among other advantageous features. The indicia reading terminal, in response to a screen reading signal, is operative to activate a screen reading cycle. In the screen reading cycle, an imaging subsystem is activated at least once at the same time that an illumination subsystem is activated for one of a plurality of active illumination periods, for a first illuminated exposure period. The imaging subsystem is activated at least once while the illumination subsystem is not activated, for a first unilluminated exposure period, which is longer than the first illuminated exposure period. An aimer subsystem is activated for a plurality of active aimer periods when neither the imaging subsystem or the illumination subsystem is activated, wherein intervals of time between the active aimer periods are equal, within nominal tolerances.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for triggering a source of visible light in connection with a data reader in response to a sensed proximity of an item. In one configuration, a data reader includes an imaging reader, such as a CMOS imager, that is sensitive to both infrared illumination and visible light. The imaging reader may be operable to read a symbol, such as a barcode or other optical code, via reflected infrared illumination, reflected visible light, or both. When characteristics of reflected illumination received by the imaging reader indicate the presence or movement of an item in the visible scan zone, the visible light source may be triggered to illuminate the item and thereby facilitate reading of the symbol using the same imaging reader as is used to sense the presence of the item. The visible light source may also be triggered to provide visual feedback.
